E2 Visa: Treaty Investor Visa – The U.S. Investor Visa
The E visa category is based upon a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation, or a bilateral investment treaty. Individual companies or citizens of a qualifying country may qualify for an E2 Visa, also known as the Treaty Investor Visa. This visa category is truly designed for a small business owner and is intended to allow foreign nationals to come to the U.S. to purchase an existing or a new business, or engage in a joint business venture, with an initial capital contribution often as low as $70,000, depending on a Consular Post.
L-1A Visa: Intracompany Transferee in Executive or Managerial Capacity
For the foreign nationals that own a business abroad, and are looking to come to the United States to open a subsidiary or an affiliate company, there is an L-1A visa for the executive or manager that comes to the United States to open the new office. An individual can stay in the United States for a maximum of 7 years in the executive or manager category. The L-1A visa lands itself well for an EB-1 (first immigrant category) multinational executive or manager filing to secure permanent resident status. This visa category allows a straight path to permanent residence (green card).
EB-5: Green Card Through Investment
Employment-based 5th preference category (EB-5 Visa) provides a way of obtaining permanent residence (green card) for foreign nationals who invest capital in the U.S. Foreign investor must invest $1,000,000 (or at least $500,000 in a “Targeted Employment Area”), creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers, excluding the investor and his immediate family. Under the Pilot Program investment can be made directly in a job-generating commercial enterprise (new or existing), or into a “Regional Center,” a third-party-managed investment vehicle, which assumes the responsibility of creating the requisite jobs.
